Overall, reviews describe Iconoglace as a vibrant ice cream destination known for exceptionally creamy soft serve, bold and inventive flavors, and generous portions that include vegan and gluten-free options. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as colorful and welcoming, with fast, friendly service even when lines are long, and many consider it a top Montreal spot or a must-try. Some comments note high prices and a menu that can feel overwhelming, and a few flavors are described as overly sweet or heavy, but the overall experience emphasizes quality, texture, and variety. Altogether, Iconoglace stands out for creativity, consistency, and crowd-pleasing desserts.
Their ice cream scoops are so bad! They just taste like sugar & the texture is not an ice cream texture. Sundaes are better but all you feel is just creammm!
There are three things that drew me to this place:
1. The ice cream
2. The great reviews
3. Most importantly: how the owner responds to bad reviews
I think it's absolutely hilarious. Some of the responses had me laughing so hard that I definitely needed an ice cream just to cool myself down.
My favorite quotes:
• 'No soup for you!'
• 'I'm always happy when people confirm that ice cream melts when it's 27°C ~ Anything less would keep me awake at night.'
I was really hoping to meet the owner in person so I could look her straight in the eye & say,'No soup for you,' just to see her reaction. Sadly, she wasn't in the store when I visited.
We tried the strawberry lemon twist soft serve & the classic chocolate & vanilla! The ice cream was great & the strawberry/lemon was out of this world
The smell of fresh waffle cones from across the street leads the nose directly to a bright & popular destination for a wide selection of seasonal flavors in constant rotation.
All frozen dairy & vegan products are high in quality, creative, & highly indulgent. Their classic soft serve ice cream is made with Coaticook dairy & the vanilla flavor is just fantastic. It is simple & perhaps basic, yet very well made with its perfectly dense, smooth & creamy consistency. I would come back regularly for this alone.
The mango & passion-coco soft serve flavor of the week was bright, refreshing, & the cubes of candied mango added a nice texture.
The vibe of the establishment is colorful & dynamic. The gender-neutral bathrooms classified as cat vs dog people is a very fun approach to inclusivity. The wallpaper in the dog people bathroom is particularly funny.
All in all, I highly enjoyed my visit to Iconoglace & I believe they fully deserve the line that runs out the door.
Grande sélection de choix & le goût de leur glace molle est parfait! De plus le staff est très rapide, aidant, patient & poli. Très contente d'avoir essayé cet endroit & c'est certain que j'y retourne!

My current favorite ice cream in Montreal. The Jean Dugas in a waffle cone is amazing. I do think the price is way too high but the ice cream is very good & the space itself is fantastic so it's worth it.
Ici cream authentique, le saveur en bouche sont très équilibré, endroit extrêmement achalandé, je pense qu'il sont victimes de leur succès. Je vous le recommande
Abondance de choix les uns plus alléchants que les autres :o Le Killer (avec crème molle chocolat) est incroyablement décadent, même les plus gourmands apprécieront probablement de le partager :p
Difficile de savoir c'est quoi tu commandes, parce que le menu est pas très indicatif pour certains trucs. Très dur de sortir aussi car il y a une longue file d'attente & juste une porte marchait. Sinon c'est très cochon! Il faut aimer ça

Great ice cream, super fun inside. Would be nice to have pictures next to the menu items since the menu is so big. Line moved super fast given the popularity.
The ice cream was pretty good (I had the Sundae Classic). The portion is huge for one person. I wish they offered reusable containers for eat-in options. Also, they overload with their toppings, as toppings kept falling onto the floor from a few people eating inside, we noticed. I like their rinsing, composting & recycling station inside. The service was great.
